Illinois abortion law: Pritzker calls SCOTUS Idaho emergency abortion ruling 'small respite'

State protections await governor's signature Supreme Court allows emergency abortion access in Idaho for now, for now, after a Thursday U.S. Supreme Court ruling, while a bill that would cement those protections in Illinois law awaits Gov. JB Pritzker's signature.

"Today's ruling thus puts the case back where it belongs, and with the preliminary injunction in place," Justice Elena Kagan wrote in a concurrence with the court's dismissal. The decision drew cautious support from abortion-rights activists. Gov. JB Pritzker, in a statement issued through his abortion-rights organization Think Big America, accused Republicans of "fighting to let hospitals refuse care for dying women."

The proposal, House Bill 581, would codify abortions as a "stabilizing treatment" that doctors must offer when necessary, in emergency situations such as ectopic pregnancy, preeclampsia, and fertility loss related to pregnancy complications. The measure passed on partisan lines.
